At best. Lots of press, several levels of various presentations, demos, and blurbs at conferences. Then rollout. Whee!
Then nada. It will be too late, not consistent between the wildly different platforms. Eventually their gaming voice assistant will start bad mouthing the mediocre player stats and piss off the seventeen remaining players.
For all their noise, they really don't have the staying power for anything besides search.
Yep, nothing but a press release here. Bop over to techdirt to read the actual story. Both HBO and Netflix are fine with password sharing. So, why is this urgent solution even necessary?
MSFT was well known for doing exactly this. And often. I'm sure the ex-intern is much too young to know that the honor system doesn't work at MSFT, much less their browser team.
United States v Microsoft Corp. Look it up. It was sort of a big deal back in the day.
MSFT is just collecting karma, their account has been deep in the red for since last century.
It was somewhat confusing to read their piece. Absolutely nothing in my experience matches their position. Excepting those that want to restrict the use of software while leveraging free resources.
I've done this several times. When the first bit of work is done I tell my boss. We verify the results, need to keep their interest in my skills up. Then I let them know the plan and ask for more that might benefit from my skills.
Did this as a software consultant (in QA support) as well. Lead spent two weeks trying to solve the issue, hired me, found my office, 45m later I entered his office and asked for the next task. "WHAT!" was essentially his reply. But I stayed around automating the hell out of the place.
www.something.com and something.com are identical. They always have been. Regardless of Google..com or otherwise.
Either the opponents don't understand that or their tinfoil hats are too tight.
I get the message. But the messenger is wrong. Intel knows squat about software, integration, UI, user satisfaction, learning, and pretty much anything that isn't *melting sand*.
Android and iOS are both accessable. Easy to dev for, if you're a programmer, which might be the issue for anyone working at Intel Sand R Us labs. Buy an unlocked phone, have your older phone unlocked, get a dev environment, knock yourself out. Show it to your friends, if they laugh good, if they want it better. But nobody needs Intel to barf out something as bad as UEFI is again.
Considering their current "use three die" and culling out the results into fifty bins, one might suggest they aren't all that good at melting sand anymore. Was a time when they would actually tweak the die to get better yields. Those days and the engineers that could do that are gone. Intel missed the phone market - by miles.
AKA flat earth nutjob. If that is what you mean, read the article instead of just the headline and you will find several sites of similar more-than-a-bubble-off-center friends to play with.
If not, please clarify.
There are many that use citizens/public/us to look at blood flows in mice brains for Alzheimer research, as well as SETI and protein folding.
IT is a significant foundation block of the modern corporation, even down to lowly small businesses. Nobody, and I mean nobody wants to pay for it. Even if they claim they will, they don't.
This is aggravated by the tendency of VPs in charge having a non-IT background. Which also includes executives coming from a different background, non-sales for a sales focused company.
First, who the hell cares?
We could demand anything in any business to be honestly named. So what? Marketing will be done, test runs will happen and, worse, the Lead Sales Droid will want it to be sexier. Somehow. Without defining anything at all.
Intel could do it, but AMD has repeatedly changed their naming conventions to mimic Intel's in a not very direct way. No, they choose to sound like Intel. While probably in all honesty is trying to tell the customer to buy AMD. No surprise there.
Is ARM going to be forced to start all their CPU designs with WimpyCore? No, and nobody is going to even get past a/. question on this silly subject. Do your research (roll versus Intelligence) or fall to the local sales droid. Roll versus wisdom.
ARM generally makes nearly nothing on a CPU/SoC. Some were less than a penny (US) and the max were closer to a dime. Many companies, Intel, Apple, and such have paid their fee and they're done.
So exactly WTF was ARM expecting long run? ARM is very good at low power. Very, very good in fact. But high functioning isn't their forte. ARM core designs are slow moving beasties. If a company needs a faster solution they need to be as heavy into the solution as building their own 64bit ARM a full year before anyone else, e.g. apple.
RISC V will allow faster design cycles. RISC V will let those champing on the bit to move forward without their high demand sitting on ARM's low power bus. One doubts they will all agree to use the same version of the silicon, just as one wouldn't expect them to share an ARM solution.
Don't trust 'em. Lousy customer support, actively hates their own customers, push DRM regardless of user experience, and then there is Uplay.
Add Google to the mix and we'll get ads for Ubisoft games that aren't compatible with our systems while spewing right wing hate.
I am starting to think that Ubisoft falling under the hostile takeover might well be a good thing. Maybe the entire company will suck into a hell gate, ala DOOM.
There was exactly zero chance of Intel making iPhone CPUs. It was never on the table. Intel wasn't in the business of fab to mobile market.
Otellini was smoking something when he made that claim. Absolutely nobody else in the company believed it. The market was too small, the IP was wrong (as in Intel was on the wrong end of it). Just like everybody else Intel/Otellini didn't think apple could cook up enough business to change their business model. Which was complete verticle slice of IP/Process/CPU/MB/Servers and it was making quite a bit of coin doing it. Becoming just the company that makes apple designed CPUs for phones, no viable business model for that.
Maybe a fever dream left a vague unease behind, but it wasn't even a possibility. Intel never made the short list.
The post rambled a bit, lost the thread once or twice. While he did make some interesting points but fell into the dreaded assumptions regarding fabs, processes, and availability at a price point that would be cost effective.
No basic difference between last year and this. Not ready yet. Unless the world allows unbounded assumptions to reign supreme.
I'll will track the progress but ARM has solved all my low level needs and I don't trust an earnest but unproven group with my future processors.
Then those in tech address the problem. Often it explodes into many fields, businesses, business models even, and it is good.
Next those in some narrow minded corridors decide that the actual problem is others are making money by addressing the problem.
Next some perceived evil is imagined. And the solution is presented, by Opinions. They never suggest breaking up Mobil. Or General Motors. Or Boeing. Or the Economist.
We in tech are still not surprised. Next time crush The Economist first. Then we might talk.
Oracle is worse, obviously. But MS is the do all and be nothing company. I do find it amusing that they even bothered writing anything at all about AI much less a book. Nobody looks to them for AI, certainly not for any future visions related to it.

Either google is doing nothing about it, per the summary. Or they are working on it, per the title and the blurb.
Come on poster step up your game, accuracy is important, even to geeks.

that offered to help POTUS with identifying those in the US without proper identification?
That one, yeah. The company that supported Nazi Germany and wants to support White Nationalist America.
Pai Man at the FCC could quit lying and everything related to the FCC would be more reliable.
Hopefully, more *interesting* work.

Nobody knows if you're a dog on the intertubes!
Or that I only drove through NYC once
Also, I don't know much about NYC except via novels, tv, web
Even LESS about MTA
Dog Nos they would be happier with a real dog
Since I ain't a dog, I just type as one every now and then.
Is this a great country or what?
Seriously, there are no signs of intelligent life there.

Bayesian solutions should be capable of >80%.
The alledged wisdom of the crowds should get close to Bayes.
73% is a miss. They should take a class.
